Firewood

We sell reasonably priced firewood that you may purchase for your
campfires. Please be aware that several wood boring bugs are becoming a
threat to the D.C. area and require us to comply with the advisory from
the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Virginia Department of Agriculture
and Consumer Services, and the Fairfax County Forest Pest Branch. These
agencies advise against transporting cut firewood from outside the
Washington D.C. area. The Fairfax County Park Authority asks that you
only bring firewood that has been cut from the local D.C. area. We also
ask that you burn all of the firewood you have brought in with you, or
give any wood you have left over to a camper who is still in the
campground to burn.

Group Camping

and needs. Please call 703-323-6600 for reservations or for specific

Group Day Use helps facilitate those that do not require an
overnight camping experience. Generally it is for scout groups
that only need an area to complete a badge requirement. You do
have to make a reservation.

Call or stop by the Burke Lake Park Information Center. Ask
staff to make a reservation for group camping or group day use.
At the time of reservation, we require the first's night's full

Burke Lake Park limits each family camping site to no more than
seven people, and no more than two tents. For group camping and
group day use a number of sites are assigned to the group
depending on the number of campers. If you have more than one
vehicle you may need to park it at the camp store parking lot.

Burke Lake Park will not refund a group camping or group day use
deposit if the cancellation is within two weeks of the reserved
date. If before 2 weeks from your reserved dated you will receive
a refund less a $25 administrative fee.

Each person requires something different to camp. Generally what
is required is a tent, sleeping bag, flash light, some food, and
clothes appropriate for the weather conditions. Sleeping in a car
or with out a tent (in a sleeping bag out in the open) is not
allowed.
